## Description

Enterprise Architecture is an organization within the Chief Technology Office at American Express and it is a key enabler of the company's technology strategy. The four pillars of Enterprise Architecture include:

 * Architecture as Code : this pillar owns and operates foundational technologies that are leveraged by engineering teams across the enterprise.

 * Architecture as Design : this pillar includes the solution and technical design for transformation programs and business critical projects which need architectural guidance and support.

 * Governance : this pillar is responsible for defining technical standards, and developing innovative tools that automate controls to ensure compliance.

 * Colleague Enablement: this pillar is focused on colleague development, recognition, training, and enterprise outreach., We back our colleagues with the support they need to thrive, professionally and personally. That's why we have Amex Flex, our enterprise working model that provides greater flexibility to colleagues while ensuring we preserve the important aspects of our unique in-person culture. Depending on role and business needs, colleagues will either work onsite, in a hybrid model (combination of in-office and virtual days) or fully virtually.
